Lined Medieval Tabard with Crosses, brown
This mid-calf length varkoch is made of strong cotton fabric (canvas) and is fully lined. The torso is cut straight to the waist and the flared part from the waist down forms a skirt. The checkerboard colour pattern (MiParti) and appliqués of paw crosses give this tunic a distinctive look. More information...
Lined Medieval Tabard with Crosses, brown
The varkoch (also known as the battle cloth) appeared in the 12th century and was worn by knights over armour or chain mail. It protected the wearer from the sun's rays on the battlefield, and the different colour combinations made it clear who was friend and foe in the heat of battle. The varkoche was worn by many crusaders to identify themselves as crusaders.
Medieval varkoches are abundantly depicted, for example, in the Maciejowski Bible (also known as the Crusader's Bible), a medieval illustrated Bible from the 13th century, and in the Codex Manesse or Great Heidelberg Hymnal, a handwritten hymnal from the early 14th century.
A simple straight cut is typical for the varkoč. We recommend combining it with a leather belt to create a nice silhouette.
